Reading the AFTV statement is that they’ve barred him after he made an accusation about him being censored due to his support for Palestine.
Basically AFTV have used his allegation as a reason, though haven’t given a reason why he hadn’t been on air in the first place.
Cowardly.

Also, a member of staff at AFTV is Jewish - so? What’s that got to do with anything?
has been subjected to horrendous abuse online following Moh’s departure and tweets - so you say, until you can evidence it.

Cliff notes for the too long didnt watch crowd.
AFTv’s version of events:
- AFTV claim they decided to remove Moh Haider after he called the channel “cowards” and “complicit in what was happening in Palestine”
- Robbie Lyle took great offence to this and confronted Moh over the phone and decided to remove him from the channel indefinitely. He felt Moh’s paid position was untenable as a consequencd.
- Robbie says this was clearly explained to Moh in this private conversation
- AFTV had previously asked Moh not to wear Palestine shirts and have Palestine displays and regularly received complaints from people over the years that Moh was politicising the football channel
- However it was not an ultimatum and they allowed Moh yo maintain his display in videos on an understanding the interviews stuck to the football
- Robbie is horrified by the situation in Gaza
- He perceives BLM differently because it is a football led campaign in his view, like say the anti Super League protests
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Moh claims they removed him before, hence why he called them cowards. Which AFTV use as a justification to have removed him.
AFTV can see the future it seems - wonder why they wanted rid of wenger if that’s the case.

Cowardly for dropping someone? Hardly.

Cowardly yes, they’ve used his reaction to being dropped as justification for dropping him.
They’ve not said why he was dropped in the first place
